Why Marksy exists

IB students often wait days for feedback, then get it when there is barely any time left to edit. Private tutors help, but most students can't afford one every time a deadline gets close.

Another chance to check your own work

Marksy shows a mark, points each comment back to the sentence it is about, and puts the most important changes first.

What Marksy does

  • Grade a draftUpload an Internal Assessment, Extended Essay, TOK task, or other supported coursework. See marks by criterion, highlighted comments, and a list of fixes.
  • Feedback in minutesYou can edit the draft and check another version while the comments are still useful.
  • More than draft gradingPractise an oral, answer practice questions by topic and get them marked, check sources, read free Physics and Biology chapters, try simulations, and compare IB subject choices.

What we hold ourselves to

  • Built on the IB criteriaMarksy marks your draft against the IB assessment criteria for your subject, so every comment ties back to a criterion you are marked on.
  • Useful before the deadlineFeedback should arrive while there is still time to change the draft, not after it has been submitted.
  • Written for the stuck studentWe write for the student who is stressed or unsure what to do next, not only the student chasing a 45.
  • Comments you can traceEvery comment shows where in your draft it came from. You decide every change you make.
